Really looking forward to this one...
Payday 2 feels a little less like a co-op shooter than it does a heist simulator. If you were being uncharitable, you might have called the original a Left 4 Dead clone, styled after the shootout set-pieces of Heat. It had its own smart ideas and brutishly amoral charm but it knew its limits – which are surely traits befitting any criminal mastermind.
Judging by my hands-off runthrough of the sequel, Payday 2 has forced those limits to the floor, hogtied them and pushed them into a stationery cupboard.
